Two bents this time - a 100% increase! It would REALLY phenomenal if we could get 4 or 5 of us next time and blow the doors out of the place.
Nelson and I pulled in some good times. The course was definitely tougher versus the time I rode in JUne. I managed to eke out a 32.01 (I think) which is an improvement of around 29 seconds from last time. Those hills at the end of a race just do me in. They're not that darned long or steep - just a little much at the end of a max effort ride.
I did manage to pass 4 other riders on the course though, which is sweet considering riders start every 30 seconds instead of it being a mass start. I gave a little "ding-ding" from the incredibell to every rider I passed. Doing my part to reprezent, yo!
I got passed by one team rider, re-passed him,. but lost too much speed at the turn and lost ground. Keppt him close the rest of the race, though.
Good job, Nelson, by the way - we really destroyed some riders, and the two of us pulled in some sweet cash - 75 bucks was the prize for first place!. If my math is right, I think my time was good for a 23.18 mph average. Lots of room for improvement for me!
I finished decently in the pack overall, though not top 10 as I would have liked. Too many CAT 1 riders, including a female who finished just under a minute faster than me. Beat by a girl!
Stoll, a good time had by all. Can't wait to see the pics - if there were any - I was too focused to look for them.
